High Country Baking: Chocolate-cherry amaretti cookies
High altitudes can affect baked goods, causing cookies to spread and cakes to fall. This column provides recipes and tips for successful mountain baking.
The chocolate-cherry amaretti cookie is a standout, with a rich Italian heritage and a unique flavor profile. It features two soft, chewy bites of almond-flavored chocolate that is both bitter and sweet, making it elegant, sophisticated, and light.
This cookie is perfect for special occasions, such as holiday cookie trays, paired with fruit or creamy desserts, or as an accompaniment to afternoon coffee. It's quick and easy to make and can be stored for days.
To ensure the best results, use high-quality ingredients, including richly flavored cocoa powder, good commercial almond flour, superfine sugar, and soft, plump dried cherries.
It’s not for cookie jars. Instead, use it on holiday cookie trays, to accompany fruit or creamy desserts and to elevate an afternoon coffee.
